Gardeners' Notes:

This is a very colorful plant, fun to watch it mature and fun to give as a gift. It has tri-colored green/white/purple leaves, small lavender flowers, and small purple/eggplant-colored fruit which matures to red. It has grown well as a potted plant on a north-facing stair, receiving about 1/2 day sun and daily watering. Plant droops when it needs water. My son-in-law and I lightly touched separated halves of one of the red peppers to our tongues - WOWWWWW, they're truly HOT!
